Welcome to r/science! This is a heavily moderated subreddit in order to keep the discussion on science. However, we recognize that many people want to discuss how they feel the research relates to their own personal lives, so to give people a space to do that, personal anecdotes are allowed as responses to this comment. Any anecdotal comments elsewhere in the discussion will be removed and our normal comment rules apply to all other comments.

> Random forest models to differentiate DLB and PD showed that high Ruminococcus torques and high Collinsella, which presumably increase intestinal permeability, as well as low Bifidobacterium, which are also observed in Alzheimer’s disease, were predictive of DLB.

Does anybody know of any studies correlating yogurt consumption in the diet of their sampled population with lower risk of dementia/Parkinsons?

Is this corroborating the hypothesis of the enteric origin of the idiopathic form of the disease?

Yes! With a big ol asterisk. Yogurts are typically fermented with lactobacillus sp., as opposed to the genera listed in this study.

Nice! I couldn't find any dealing with the Bifidobacterium too but it seems like there are yogurt starters with Bifidobacterium specifically and both Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus.

The founder of CNN has this disease. It is crippling.

It's worse than Alzheimers. Really horrible.

Does this mean I should eat more yogurt?

We probably won't know the right answer to that question for a few decades from now.

Once fecal microbiota transplantation becomes a thing (for IBS/Chron's/C. difficile colitis patients) and we collect longitudinal data of donors and recipients over a span of decades will we have a probable answer to that question.

> Does this mean I should eat more yogurt?

My gut feeling is yes though.

I makes me so happy to see more and more research related to our gut microbiomes. A thoroughly screwed up microbiome will screw a person up. I love seeing the research on this front progress so that eventually we can start treating to prevent these medical issues.
